Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20S
The AirTAC Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20S is a genuine single acting, pull (spring return) ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

About the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20S
This AirTAC ATE100X20S is a single acting pull cylinder with spring return, meaning the spring extends the rod and air retracts it. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers 3483.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, enough to handle heavy clamping or lifting tasks in automation cells.
The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight machine frames. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. For real work, plan on about 2090 N (213 kg) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, leaving a safety margin over the full rating.

Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Pull force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3483.6 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 4991.6 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa. Single-acting strokes are short (Ø12 to 10 mm, Ø16-100 to 25 mm).

Where the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20S Is Used
Heavy Clamp Retraction
Use the 3483.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa to retract a heavy-duty clamping arm on a CNC machine fixture, freeing the operator's hands for part loading.
Pallet Stop Pull-Down
In a conveyor system, this cylinder pulls a pallet stop down flush with the roller deck, allowing a pallet to pass without manual intervention.
Die-Casting Core Pull
Retract a large core pin in a die-casting mold with the 4991.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa, ensuring clean part ejection and reducing cycle time.
Is the Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter pull applications, the ATE80X25 offers 2159.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while this ATE100X20S provides 3483.6 N for heavier loads. Remember, the spring returns the rod to its extended position on air loss, so it does not hold a mid-stroke position. This model has a female M12x1.75 rod thread and a 1/4" port, with FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC mounting options available.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Single-acting: do not force the rod against the spring.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ATE Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ATE100X20S FAQ
The ATE100X20S delivers 3483.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 4991.6 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight gantries and guards. It also features a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switch mounting.
